The Board found that the overpayment of $585.00 was valid due to P.M.'s completion of high school, but it also found that a waiver for the portion of the debt related to his university studies would be against equity and good conscience.
The deciding factor: The Veteran promptly reported all periods of full-time school attendance, including her son's initiation at university. The Board determined that recovery of this portion of the debt would defeat the purpose for which benefits were intended.
